#suitjacketfit

There are three essential ingredients for a quality suit jacket: (1) fit; (2) fabric; and (3) construction.

This article focuses on fit. A custom tailored suit is crucial to guarantee the perfect fit. The Suit Society takes twenty measurements, from your neck to your ankle, to ensure the perfect fit and to guarantee you look dapper and well fitted for any occasion.

Whether you are trying to become more informed for your next suit purchase, or trying to figure out whether your current collection is in dire need of being re-tailored, knowing the four fit components of a suit is fundamental.

1 – The shoulder pads must end with your shoulders. The best tailor’s are not able to retailor the shoulder.

2 – The top button must not fall below your belly button.

3 – The jacket sleeve should be inline with the bottom of your jacket.

4 – The jacket sleeve should end at the base of your thumb, allowing for half an inch of your shirt cuff to be visible.
